含义与用法 (Meanings & Usage)

中文核心释义 (Core Chinese Meaning): 睡觉，入睡。

英文核心释义 (Core English Meaning): to sleep; to slumber

“眠”常用于书面语，单独使用时多表示“睡觉”或“入睡”的意思，如“失眠”、“安眠”。常与“睡”连用构成“睡眠”。 '眠' is commonly used in written Chinese to mean 'sleep' or 'fall asleep.' It often appears in compounds such as '失眠' (insomnia) and '安眠' (peaceful sleep). It is also frequently paired with '睡' to form '睡眠' (sleep).

象形意义 / 为何这么写 (Pictographic Meaning / Writing Rationale)

“眠”字上部为“目”表示眼睛，下部为“民”，古代“民”字本为“目”上加一横，象征闭上眼睛，引申表示睡觉。因此“眠”整体表达闭眼睡眠的动作。The upper part of '眠' is '目' (eye), and the lower part is '民.' In ancient times, '民' included a horizontal line over the eye, symbolizing closed eyes. As a whole, '眠' conveys the action of closing the eyes to sleep.

与现代意义相近，主要指闭眼入睡。Similar to modern meaning, mainly referring to closing the eyes to sleep.

字源故事 (Origin Story)

“眠”字最早见于小篆，由“目”（眼睛）与“民”组成。本义是闭上眼睛，指的是睡觉。字形体现了人与眼睛相关的动作，表达了入睡、闭眼的意思。'眠' first appeared in the Small Seal Script, composed of '目' (eye) and '民.' Its original meaning is to close one's eyes, referring to sleeping. The shape represents an action connected to the eyes and a person, expressing sleep or closing the eyes.

字形演变 (Character Evolution)

甲骨文 (Oracle Bone Script):
甲骨文中缺乏与“眠”完全一致的字形，可见与“目”相关的记录，但“眠”字的完整结构较晚才出现。 The Oracle Bone Script lacks a direct equivalent of '眠,' although records relating to 'eye' (目) exist. The full structure of '眠' appears in later scripts.
金文 (Bronze Inscription):
在金文中，“眠”字结构尚未完全确立；与“眼睛”、“闭目”有关的表达较多。‘眠’的独立形态主要出现在小篆及以后。 In Bronze Inscriptions, the structure of '眠' was not fully formed; more often, expressions related to 'eyes' or 'closing eyes' appear. The independent form of '眠' becomes prominent in Small Seal Script and beyond.
小篆 (Small Seal Script):
小篆中“眠”由“目”和“民”组成，结构紧凑，表达闭目入睡之意。 In Small Seal Script, '眠' is composed of '目' and '民,' tightly structured, indicating the meaning of closing the eyes and sleeping.
隶书 (Clerical Script):
隶书中“眠”字的结构趋于扁平化，笔画转折分明，更便于书写。 In Clerical Script, the structure of '眠' becomes flatter, with distinct strokes, making it easier to write.
楷书 (现代) (Regular Script (Modern)):
现代楷书中，“眠”的写法标准且规整，上为‘目’下为‘民’，形体清晰。 In modern Regular Script, '眠' is written in a standard and orderly manner, with '目' on top and '民' below, clear in form.
